Themis Strengthens Global Financial Crime Prevention Capabilities Through Enhanced Dow Jones Partnership

London, UK

3 December 2024

Themis, a leading provider of financial crime prevention solutions, today announced an expansion of its strategic partnership with Dow Jones, enhancing its comprehensive suite of due diligence and compliance tools. This development marks a significant advancement in Themis's mission to combat financial crime through superior data and analytics.

The enhanced data will integrate Dow Jones' core data, including their specialist OFAC 50% sanctions list, into Themis's extensive financial crime dataset, further strengthening the company's ability to help clients navigate complex regulatory requirements. This integration is particularly crucial for organisations seeking to comply with U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations regarding entities owned 50 percent or more by sanctioned parties, which can be a daunting task given the complexities involved.

"In today's complex financial landscape, normalising due diligence and fostering partnerships that combine the finest data sources is fundamental in the fight against financial crime," said Dickon Johnstone, CEO of Themis. "This enhanced collaboration with Dow Jones signals our continued commitment to go above and beyond in protecting our clients, ensuring they have access to the most comprehensive and reliable compliance solutions available."

Themis's gold-standard data intelligence platform, which updates every six hours and provides 24-hour monitoring services, currently encompasses over 223 million corporate records and more than 334 million director and officer records.
